The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we're dealing with over the next couple of weeks at Playa Mojon.
Honestly, I'm looking at this forecast and it's a bit of a heartbreaker. We're in for a long, quiet run. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn't show up until Wednesday the 16th, and even then, it's barely a whisper. The whole first week is a write-off with tiny swell and onshore or stormy conditions, so don't even bother waxing up.
Wednesday the 16th is where things just start to look a little less hopeless. The combined swell energy is still weak (60), but we get a little 1ft groundswell from the south with a 16-second period. The wind goes offshore from the north at 9 mph in the afternoon, which is a major positive, keeping things clean. It's still pretty ordinary, but it's the first window we've got.
Thursday the 17th? Forget it. The energy drops right back down to 22 and we're back to poor conditions. The weekend of the 20th has a slight glimmer on Sunday afternoon – a glassy 1ft south swell, period of 19 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 83. It's surfable, but still very, very small and ordinary. Not a standout by any stretch.
Now, if you're holding out for something better, look towards the end of the month. Monday the 28th of September has the most potential. We've got a 1ft south swell with a 16-second period, and the combined energy pushes up to 66. The wind is offshore from the northwest at 6 mph, keeping things clean. It's still not big, but for this stretch, it's the best on offer. The water's a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°, so at least you won't be cold.
The crowds are listed as "often" here, so you might have some company even for these small waves. Playa Mojon is a reef break, so that longer-period south swell (16-21 seconds) will wrap in better than it would at a beach break, giving you a cleaner line.
Overall, it's a pretty bleak outlook. There's a big gap of nothing useful from now until the 16th, and even after that, we're scraping the bottom of the barrel. The best advice is to keep an eye on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
Rusty.
